§ Mr. Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the figures at March 1983, for clients per home help in (a) the Tayside health board area and (b) Scotland.
§ Mr. John MacKayThe number of clients per full time equivalent home help in Tayside region at 31 March 1983 was 7.78. The corresponding figure for Scotland cannot be calculated because the 1983 figures for some local authorities are not yet available. The figures for Tayside and Scotland at 31 March 1982 were 7.49 and 6.87 respectively.
